The childhood home of Anne Boleyn, Hever Castle is a stunning location for your race. Start your swim from The Loggia with its Nymph’s Fountain inspired by the Trevi Fountain in Rome, run through stunning castle grounds and surrounding villages, cycle through the Ashdown Forest and South Downs.

Throughout the weekend, athletes and spectators will be able to enjoy a fun-packed festival village featuring live music, shopping, food and drink, children’s entertainment, yoga and more.

We are delighted to announce that this event has received its official British Triathlon Event Permit. If you are competing in a triathlon or multisport event you will need a valid licence to compete.
